Why more oil ?

In case it ran hotter. It maybe does because even with extra oil there's zero smoke. But I'll use normal mix next time.

I used my Kawasaki with a mulcher non stop all day two days running this week on E5 Supreme and it ran perfectly. I'm not sure it didn't drink a little more than usual but if so not by much and it never missed a beat. 

You must have had some bad fuel. I'm going to stick with the premium grade now.

You're mixing up Ron and ethanol numbers.

 

I've run super in my stuff, including a 365, for 3 or 4 years. All good.

 

Btw, Esso synergy supreme 99+ is e0. Guaranteed on their website.

Esso Synergy Supreme +99 is ethanol free only in some areas of the country and not in all they say due to technical reasons (ref statement currently on their website), the areas they mention where this fuel is not ethanol free are: Devon, Cornwall, North Wales, North England and Scotland. 
 

I’m currently using Esso Synergy Supreme with an ethanol inhibitor in machines used frequently and Aspen in machines used infrequently without problem. Some contractors in the area have been using high grade petrol in machines for years now without problem.

E10 supposedly  does   use fuel dependent on engine

 

What Car? magazine recently noted an increase in fuel
consumption of 10% in modern cars in a recent test. Honda have suggested running older landscape
equipment on E10 fuel may result in engines not meeting strict Euro 5 emissions regulations, although
all new models produced will comply with Euro 5 emissions regulations whilst running on E10 fuel.

Shell v power, Esso synergy supreme (both are actually 99+Ron and Esso guarantee e free in much of the country, shell don't and haven't for a couple of years). BP ultimate is also a 97 Ron E5 fuel.  Not sure if Texaco have a super grade.
